Question coolant and a/c question

does the coolant affect how cold the a/c runs? i've recently put in a bottle of water wetter into my coolant reservoir. the air conditioning seems to blow a bit colder now.

just asking to make sure i'm not imagining things haha.

thanks.

probbly not. i mean the condesor is in front of the radiator... even if it cooled down the radiator more than before the condensor doesn't benefit from it anyways... but water wetter does work though.. there's probbly an explination or it's just your head

As long as the car was running properly before, there should not be any affect by adding the water wetter.

it doesnt have anything to do with it, the reason the a/c doesnt seem as cold is more than likely the fact that a/c systems just do not work as efficiently in the heat of the summer do to poor heat dissapation in the condensor due to higher humidity.
